OpenUP
Are you his friend?
Really! Not just his partner, his lover, his schedule keeper, dinner-maker and kid raiser. Are you a real true live playmate, confidant, i'm going wherever you are going, fault overlooking, completely loyal, you are my favorite, honest to goodness, forever and ever kind of friend to your husband?
If your answer is maybe, huh, sometimes, I hope so..... May I suggest that you openUP to the possibility of a silly, fun, secret telling, unconditional, inside joke, fierce, BFF kind of friendship which might include:
- Midnight trips for ice cream
- Sending memes
- Calling just because
- Playing video games together
- Wrestling
- Spend a weekend away together - minus the children
- A matinee movie
- Laying in the grass and talking for hours
- A pillow fight
- Wash the car
- Have a sleep-over, in sleeping bags in your front room
- Sending letters- in the mail
- Playing board-games
- A dance party
- Flying a Kite
- Going to the park
- Sharing a soda
Fun in friendship is important and should happen regularly- as in daily! But friendship also requires listening with compassion, caring about his feelings, being encouraging, dependable and going beyond the call of duty. It is paramount that we celebrate their wins and support them when they struggle. Think about your best ever loyal amazing high school friend and then do what they did.
